Tesla Motors Club
Hi Friends,
I am starting a poll to see how do owners plan to use SCs and Battery Swaps. Please select the option that suits you the most, if you agree with option 6 and option 7, then mention in a post manually, others just choose the option. The poll will help generate vital data on how owners plan to use battery swap. Feel free to suggest edits or addition of options. I hope to see a shift in usage patterns as more 60kWh are sold, owners now have option not to choose SC access and just rely on battery swap for their trip (16 to 20 swaps for the price of SC access). My estimate is battery swap will be used for <10% of all trips, and I would love to be proved wrong. Thank you all for your participation. Hope we can provide important information to Tesla.
Important Note:
(A) This is not a Model S exclusive poll, Model X reservation holders and future Gen III owners are more than welcome to cast their vote
(B) I also encourage Roadster/Model S owners, who have two cars, or has another reservation (Model S/X) to let me know, I will just manually add your second vote. Unfortunately, Roadster are not SC capable and won't have swap as well.
(C) I am sorry to leave owners with 40 kWh capacity, few reasons (1) Tesla is not producing 40 kWh anymore, it is now a software limited 60 kWh battery, which I hope owners may upgrade in future. (2) Not sure how Tesla will handle SCs and swapping for this capacity. But I will really appreciate your vote, please vote as 60 kWh owners

Updated Vote:
I have added the two options members suggested. I tried but could not edit the poll. Members can reply manually in post and I will keep an updated tally in this original post. Typo with 85 kWh also corrected.
How do you plan to use battery swap in combination with SCs? (Total votes - 115)
Option 1 : 60 kWh. Have SC access, so will use that mostly with < 10% battery swap (Votes - 15, 14%)
Option 2 : 60 kWh. No SC access, as capacity good for daily commute. Will use battery swaps on all long trips. (Votes - 1, 1%)
Option 3 : 85 kWh. Free SC access. Will use battery swap on rare occasions and emergency situations. (Votes - 92, 78%)
Option 4 : 85 kWh. Free SC access, however time is tight. Will rely heavily on battery swaps. (Votes - 0, 0%)
Option 5 : Urban User. No garage to charge. Will use battery swaps exclusively. (Votes - 1, 1%)
Option 6 : 85 kWh. Free SC access. Never plan to use battery swap (Votes - 5, 5%)
Option 7 : 60/85 kWh. Range good for most commute, rare SC use. Battery swap, impressive but overhyped; don't plan on using it. (Votes - 1, 1%)
